Santini 2014 Summer Dragon Bibs

Riding in the heat while swathed in Lycra is never comfortable. Santini's Dragon Bib Shorts, however, designed to complement the Dragon Jersey, keep the sizzling summer temperatures at bay.

In the saddle, especially in the heat of summer, when sweat seems to grip every square inch of skin, comfort is paramount. That is why Santini designed its Dragon bib shorts around its MAX2 Chamois. The MAX2 is the latest evolution of Santini's Coolmax insert. It features multi-density foam, which is anatomically cut to provide firm support for your sit bones, while at the same time cushioning soft tissue areas. A central channel removes pressure from the sensitive perineal area. The MAX2 also features an antibacterial treatment so that you'll stay fresh ride after ride.

The Dragon bibs were cut with the classic Santini multi-panel form fit — made from a highly flexible Lycra. To aid in ventilation during hot summer rides, the wide mesh bib straps have been extended downward to move moisture away from the core. Elastic gripper at the inner part of the leg hem ensures that the shorts will stay put without the pinching of traditional thin elastic.
